Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

This is happening all over the country. And again, the billionaires who claim to be about a healthy democracy—not many I grant you—could invest in journalism instead of campaign ads and dark influencers. But they don’t.

But don't try to give someone a bottle of water while they stand in line in the heat to vote or offer them a ride to the polls. That's bribery..

Coyote vs. Acme was so much fun. It didn't quite reach Roger Rabbit heights, but it's the best Looney Tunes live action mashup by far. I'm so glad this movie finally saw the light of day, in spite of the real-world corporate greed that tried to kill it. Go see it, fastus hellus. #beepbeep

I’m curious, if “eggs expensive under Biden” was newsworthy, how come “Trump intentionally caused every single fucking thing to be heinously expensive” isn’t a story?

Remember when Elon said he’d end world hunger if anyone could explain how, then they did, then he never talked about it again and in fact killed tens of thousands of people instead

I understand that there’s danger in dehumanizing your political opponents but I don’t know what else you’d call this worldview other than “inhuman.” he has no empathy, no charity, no positive feelings towards his fellow human beings. he is an anti-humanist. a being incompatible with humanity

I once posted that I couldn't believe Matt Yglesias had a career in podcasting since he sounds exactly like Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas & Ferb. I took it down because it felt mean. I officially retract my retraction. He's become 1000x more insufferable since then & doesn't deserve my politeness.

I know the genre of posting shatteringly hypocritical about-turns by Trump opponents turned Trump sycophants is extremely played out. But I though these two quotes perfectly summed up who Lindsey Graham was. His words, his choices, his legacy.

This was so timely for me as I’m nearly finished reading Rick Perlstein’s “Before the Storm” and have had the same thoughts so many times. I knew the story in very broad strokes, but it’s wild to learn the details of how the far right and Birchers conquered the GOP. And how long the game was.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

This map is wild
The secure zone starts at 4 p.m. and covers the area between 30th and 35th streets and Seventh and Eighth avenues. The Knicks also said that a strict no-bag policy will be in place for Monday night's game, and you can expect "TSA-level security" for entry.

Sorry, Knicks fans: No Madison Square Garden watch party tonight. You won’t even be able to walk close. The NYPD and U.S. Secret Service announced another spate of street closures and security measure...

It’s maddening how many people go along with “GenAI is great as long as it doesn’t (yet) threaten my specific exact job. Even if it massacres the jobs of my valued colleagues.” Astounding that Scorcese is one of them.

So sad to hear that Marcia Lucas has died. Her editing career was short but absolutely incredible. Her work on Star Wars, Taxi Driver, and American Graffiti alone make her a legend. And despite George Lucas's efforts to do so, nothing can erase her from the history of Star Wars and Lucasfilm.

That dude is so frustrating. He can be insightful... I found his "Why We're Polarized" book to be genuinely informative and well-reasoned overall. But he's just so obtuse and bizarrely naive and dead-ass wrong so often. And given his influence, he's way more harmful than helpful.
